$eason 19(M) Episode 09
$pecies: Previously on $urvivor...
After the joint tribal council, @Khutob was shocked to learn that Clink returned to camp without Kasnoy. Jessica was disappointed to see Jonas and Sophie return to @Sajid while Vikram continued to rub his @Qummah tribe members the wrong way.
At the challenge arena, the castaways discovered that they would live at the same camp, but remain in separate tribes. Many took the opportunity to reconnect with their old allies. At the immunity challenge, Bloody and Borges secured themselves individual immunity, before everyone dropped their buffs and merged into the @Alqamar tribe. The race for advantages was on, but Vikram and Deaze painted targets on their backs by standing around in areas of the camp, keeping watch over who was looking for tokens. Despite this, Borges and Nerf discovered an idol token each.
Everyone scrambled to avoid being one of the first two merge boots. While Jessica and Vikram were early targets, they made an agreement to work together, sensing that if one went home, the other would follow. Nerf and Deaze considered targeting Moss, but after Zach leaked to Jonas that Nerf was spreading rumors about a majority alliance consisting of the two trios Bloody-Borges-Goose and Jonas-Sophie-Moss, Nerf threw Zach and Deaze under the mega bus.
At tribal, Vikram, Jessica and Nerf voted for Deaze, with Deaze and Zach voting for Vikram, as all were left in the dark about the majority’s plan to vote off Zach, who became the first member of the jury. The remaining players had to vote again right after the first vote, prompting everyone to whisper to one another frantically. Deaze campaigned hard to get everyone to split up Nerf and Vikram but could not shake off the easy target on him. He became the second member of the jury by a unanimous vote.
11 are left. Who will be voted out tonight?
Intro plays.

The Final 11 share their thoughts after voting out Zach and Deaze back to back.

Ya boi survived! I did wanna cast a stray vote on Jonas JUST in case, but it wasn't needed at all. Getting rid of two people who dragged me down has opened me up as a free number in this game. My social game has been working out. Hopefully now I can try and get myself in a position where I can move with multiple people and get something going for me.
Vikram | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
The double tribal was quite good as the fact that I survived means 2 things: either people wanna work with me, which is awesome, or that's because they think they can easily beat me - at this stage, I'm fine with that thought as that will make it easier for me to backstab them later on. The whispers last night were insane though. I wanted to whisper so many things to everyone but when one other person whispered to someone else, I got paranoid… (pauses to think) Omg EUREKA! I just realise what I should do next in the game. I should form an alliance of me, Sophie and Jessica. I can beat them at the end. I have to build trust with them and form the UTR alliance.

Yesterday, first up we got the fresh and spicy Zach vote, which I was basically told to lie by Jonas and Simon. I didn't have any freedom. I haven't had anything to do for myself. I hate it but I had to rely on those two guys to tell me what to do. We’re still tight with Clink and kinda tight with Nerf and Vikram. After the first vote, I had to whisper to Nerf, Vik and Jess what happened because we lied to those three saying that we were voting Deaze and not Zach. Jess just got really mad at me, which wasn't fun, because I have screwed her over a lot and somehow she's still with me. I don't know how but she probably isn't. Nerf and Vikram forgave me relatively quickly. Both came to me individually about working together, and Vik has an entire plan for us as “UTR threats” to make it to the end. On the Deaze vote, people said they didn't want to whisper too much but then whispers were flying around. There were a lot of discussions with gorgeous Borges, which made me wary because he isn't on the best side with me at this point.
Jessica | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I’m glad to have survived the chaotic mess last night. Vik’s and my name were out there initially but then I quickly scrambled and my name was taken out of the mix and I believe Vik did the same. I was even able to get closer to the people who threw out my name which was a nice bonus. Zach was not supposed to be the first one voted out but I was lied to again by we know who.... Sophie but oh well. So I talked around and I did put in some people’s mind a seed of Sophie being a snake and dishonest. I’m trying to spread this seed until it’s in their mind so much that they start to doubt her too. The amount of control it took for me to not go off on Jonas in whispers and not call out Sophie in public… I really hope I’ll be able to avenge Joe eventually.

Apparently last night, Jess, Deaze, Zach and Vik wanted to pull a blindside on Moss. That did not work out, and Nerf was thrown into it. I’m not sure if Nerf was a part of the plan or just guilty of association, but Moss did confront Nerf and ask why he threw her name out. Sophie and Jonas wanted me to split the votes and throw some onto Goose. I obviously didn’t agree but I have a feeling both Jonas and Sophie are wary of me now. I told Goose that Jonas whispered to me to split votes and that I’ll play double agent and help with the blindside on him but I will not be doing that.
Goose | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I’m just now realizing these last two tribals were the first ones where I did not receive a vote, which is pretty cash money BUT that almost did not happen! I’m gonna let you in on some juicy juicy information. Clink, who is in close with Jonas and Sophie the Snake (STS), told me last night that Jonas attempted to use me as idol insurance. So now there is not a doubt in my mind that the Moss-Jonas-STS trio needs to be broken up immediately. Clink is now my number one cuz not only have I gotten along with him better than most of the cast, but him telling me this lets me know that he has my back and actively wants to work with me.

I guess that I was the only one who had fun during the second part of last tribal. I wasn't going to spread anything to anyone because they'd have used that against me. I got what I wanted so far - the last 3 eliminated players were people who voted out Lars. My main plan for merge is to always have someone who is a bigger threat than me in the game, like who would want to target me when we have the Borges/Goose/Bloody trio from Qummah 2.0, the Moss/Sophie/Jonas trio from Sajid 2.0 and Nerf/Vikram duo? For me it's better if at least two power hungry people stay in the game to fight for the power position while I sneak my way to the end without making anyone mad at me. Clink and I already talked about how all these people in the game trust us and that we can flip flop from one side to another. They won't vote us out because they need us.
Clink | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I actually have no idea how I’m gonna navigate myself through the game. I never thought I’d feel safe in a merge scenario with 13 people but it happened?!!?!? I think my best bet is to just buddy up with the duos and trios, Sophie/Jonas and then Bloody/Borges/Goose, cuz at the end of the day, they hold the most power and as long as both sides think I’m good with them, I’m gonna be here in the game.
Nerf | @Alqamar

![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I think because I have built up this reputation of a guy who is sometimes too truthful for his own good, I can easily manipulate and get into people's heads. I can lie and deceive because of this good person persona I've put up. I truthfully believe I'm the most manipulative person in this game, and it's EXACTLY how I wanted it to work. I've lied a lot in this game to try and make myself seem like a seriously honest person, and I have to use that to my advantage. I know I'm still not in an amazing position, but I don't believe I'll be a target anytime soon. And I know I can probably try to make sure CONFLICTS start. Now, if Jonas vs Bloody happen? I want Jonas to go home. If it's Sophie vs Goose? I want Goose to go home. If it's Borges vs Vikram? Okay that's obvious, I'd want Borges to go home. I NEED a conflict that's been building up this entire season to start here, a war to try and get people out of the middle and make them DEFINE a side so I can come in and scrap up the work at the end.
Vikram | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
There are a ton of relationships to be taken into account in the game. It can take just one wrong move for getting into grave trouble or one right conversation for getting a pilot seat. I asked Sophie about Jessica as I don’t know where Jess stands. Sophie said that she has a basic idea of where Jess is and that Jess is close to Borges and her. So Jess is in the middle here. I see Sophie and Jonas as a duo and Borges, Goose, Bloody as a trio. Either these 2 sides team up again on easy votes or they fight for power in which case Nerf and I would be the middlemen and also we will know where Clink's and Jess' true allegiances lie.

I’m petty about the fact that Moss was vulnerable last tribal and didn't even care to talk to me. it's like, girly I'm not the one in trouble, you are. Though that speaks to how well situated Moss feels she is - like she didn't even need to reach out.
Sophie | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I just realize something. I have no clue where Moss is on anything ever. If Jonas goes out next, I’m bum[bleep]ed but otherwise I'm basically stuck doing his bidding unless I can maybe pull something off with Nerf/Vik/Jess and maybe Simon and/or Clink.
Moss | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
So last tribal, the first vote was pretty straight forward with the majority set on Zach and we also planned the Deaze vote ahead of time and nothing seemed to change during whispers except make it unanimous. But the interesting thing from whispers was I didn't whisper much on purpose. I wanted to sit back, observe and notice. I’m kinda crazy. I created a tally chart to keep track of who whispers to whom. This is free info on who’s tight!

Green is a lot of whispers between the duo, yellow is medium and red is low. Borges I think is in the best position, he has no red in any section and has a decent amount of connection with everyone...this is SCARY. Clink is also scary, his only red zone was with Deaze who’s gone and Vik who’s not socially connected, so again, Clink is in a very good spot socially...SCARY. And Jonas was interesting, he was a mixture of red, yellow and green. So you can see clearly who he's close with (Sophie/Simon) , who he’s ok with (Clink/Borges) and who he doesn’t talk to (Jess/Goose) which lines up with my convos with him. He also did a good job not messaging me. We purposely didn't whisper so that people don't know that we’re close.
Jonas | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I did the math in my head. The smartest move at last tribal was for Borges/Bloody/Goose to team up with Vik/Nerf/Deaze/Jessica to take out either me or Sophie. That’d been the smart move, if Borges was half the player I think he might be. But he didn’t, so you best believe I’m going after Goose or Bloody because man has got too many friends.
Vikram | @Alqamar

I mended things with Borges so that the Qummah 3 (Borges/Bloody/Goose) isn't against me. Jonas said he wanna make a move now with me, I mean I’m down to make a move anytime but I'm not gonna start/organise one at least till Final 8 without immunity. Jonas is concerned about him and Sophie being a duo and hence told me Nerf and I are a tight duo too. I’m sure Jonas will gun for Qummah 3 this time as they are a trio. Sophie and I have a secret duo thing going on but while Jonas is here, I'm not trusting her 100%. I'm a UTR player and people are gonna underestimate me but hey I'm gonna use that to my advantage. So I’m sorry to say this but I think Nerf will take the hit before me if us 2 are targeted.
Borges | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
Deaze got my heart during the last tribal but unfortunately if I fought for him to stay, I'd put myself in a hole I couldn't get out of and I want to go way further in this game. I will be receiving all my money, which is the highest amount in a $afe deposit box at Final 10, so I need to survive one more round. I regret targeting Zach first instead of Vikram because I didn't realize I’d be putting Deaze in a sinking ship. We are at Final 11 and I trust 4 people to not vote me. For now personal relationships matter more than strategic positions, so only further in the game that I might have to worry about them targeting me for being a threat.
Jessica | @Alqamar
![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I still don’t trust people that much. Borges has just been really nice and fun to talk to, and he hasn’t lied to me. I just would love to keep working with the guy he just seems like a great person to be around. Nerf is the person I have talked to the most since merge. At first he was targeting me but he has proposed for me, him and Vikram to be a trio so it will be interesting to see how that leads down. Now I am honestly unsure of where everyone stands but I feel like I have more room to wiggle in than before - I think I can get Borges, Bloody, and Goose to work with me and I really hope I’m able to succeed in doing that.
Bloody | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
(finds an advantage in the forest that allows her to steal $900 from another player anonymously) I have to decide whom to steal from real quick. My gut tells me to steal from someone who might freak out about it, like Vikram or Nerf or even Borges! I’m hoping that stealing will spur someone to spend more in the next immunity challenge.
Vikram | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
My money was stolen! I don’t know who did it. Maybe Clink? Because he is sketchy and I'm sure he doesn't trust me that much. Also, an obvious enemy of mine like Borges or a sneaky player like Jonas might not do it as I would suspect them first. Clink may have thought he is the last person I would suspect.

Auction can be approached in a lot of different ways. People will see the auction as a great moment to go for advantage, but I'm not sure if that's correct because people knowing that you have an advantage is the last thing you want in the game. My goal here is to joke around and bid for useless items to spend some money because then people will question if I'm really thinking before I'm doing something and that can decrease my threat level.
Borges | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
Today we have the auction and I'm tempted to bid for immunity but I need to survive now without a necklace. Goose telling me I shouldn't go for immunity makes me want to go for it though. I got some prices up like the $afety Pass even though I don’t want it so that the person who had bid there in Phase 1 tries to go way up and spends a lot more money. The thing I want the most is the idol token valid till Final 5, so I’m all in for that. Besides that I need my allies, Simon, Moss, Bloody, to grab the rest of the stuff.
Moss | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
For the auction, I did not bid during the price-setting period. I let everyone set the minimum amounts and now I can decide which one I wanna bid on. I won't bid a crazy amount though, maybe go for the cheaper ones, maybe a covered one. The tokens seem really expensive.

Bloody | @Alqamar
![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I don’t have any tokens and have been trying to slow my roll on searching because it’s so much unnecessary stress. If I find one, I'll be glad about it, but I don’t have any right now and it seems silly to go after a token when there are probably people with more incentive to grab one of them. As far as safety and immunity, that would be NICE but I’m just coming off a round of secured immunity. If I’m gonna lower my visibility and threat level, I can’t spend 10k to not go to tribal. I’m playing the long game. I’m playing to win. So everything I do needs to serve that mindset. I’ve gotta consider the long game implications to every move now. At this point, I still think I’m valuable enough for Vik, Nerf, Borges, Goose and Jonas to keep me here. It’s always a gamble, things can always go wrong, but I strongly feel I shouldn’t go for safety here.
Vikram | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
Okay my plan for the auction - don't bid again on the two covered items I've set base price, then lie to Bloody to go for one of them. I’m also going to lie to Nerf that I’m bidding on the idol token. I will go double on the extortion advantages instead. I’m spending lavishly, so I’d better get something! I want the hidden items, please. Also, I’m wondering who feels super vulnerable that they bid 7.6k for immunity?
Goose | @Alqamar
![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I’m the one that’s not [bleeping] around with the 7.6k bid for immunity. Why? To cause panic, 7600 is a lot of money in this game, so the fact that someone is willing to spend that much on a single immunity is going to get people talking. Who’s been conserving money? Who’s been a big spender? I imagine throwing that much money out there that early would cause quite a bit of paranoia and it already has. I shot the bid way up so that whoever went for it had to spend a crap ton of money.
Jonas | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
So thoughts on the auction. I increased the bid for the immunity necklace from $7600 to $7619 because I want someone to be paranoid enough to spend the big bucks on it, knowing someone snatched the highest bid from them with 30 seconds on the clock before Phase 1 ended. Can’t just let them get it for the easy 7.6k. And I want the idol tokens BECAUSE I WANT TO VOLTRON. I WANT ALL THE PIECES OF EXODIA and I think either Moss has a second token or one that expires at Final 11 which might be worth more than just 1 since it’s use it or lose it. If I get both tokens from the auction, I'm gonna try my damndest to cosplay as Queen Elizabeth at tribal!

What the [bleep] is this? 7k for immunity? 5k for the $afety Pass? These people have almost 0 money and they are spending 7k on immunity? I'm going to change my tactic a little bit for this auction because lots of the winners won't be revealed, so maybe I can sneak some items.
Clink | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
This auction, I was like [bleep] it, just raise the price and bid for 3 items. If both me and Nerf can successfully grab these two token idols, we can buy the Royal Idol. Then we can target someone we both can feel mutually sketched about. Nerf might throw out Sophie as a potential vote but I truly feel like the best move for myself and Nerf is to target either Moss or Bloody. Those two are untouchable and won’t go anywhere anytime soon. Plus, I can pitch the whole Me / Jess / Vik / Nerf alliance potentially. Obviously Simon might be a problem since he could be in the middle and flip flop randomly but he keeps pushing this secret duo to me. Personally, I don’t know how I feel about it since I have trouble trusting anyone now. Moss is also in the middle so it might be more beneficial to target her full on with the Royal Idol, if Nerf and I could accumulate 5 tokens.
Nerf | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I want another idol token. I'm intentionally bidding ONE less than the maximum amount for the idol token because I don’t want to win it directly. I'm gonna let other people try and bid for me. I want Clink and Vikram to win their idol tokens and give it to me. Why? Well, resume points. I feel like people GIVING ME their idol tokens really can put down my fate that I have an insanely good social game.

$pecies: Phase 2 is over. Time to reveal who will walk away with Item A and B!
The highest bidder for Item A is...
Jonas.
JONAS WINS IMMUNITY!
Congrats Jonas, come and grab it.
Jonas gets the necklace from $pecies.
$pecies: And bidding the highest for Item B, the $afety Pass, is…
Jessica!
Jessica, you’re safe too but you will not be attending tribal council with the rest as you have bought yourself the pass to go to the Edge of Extortion on your own. You will return to camp after the Final 11 Tribal Council.
Now for the remaining items, it’s very competitive. There were at least two players that bid the maximum amount, double of their base price, for each private item. So we're going to do random draws here without revealing which players are involved in the tie.
Random draws take place to decide the winners for Item C to I.
$pecies: That’s it! The eleven of you spent a total of $66,062 in this auction! Any items you have won here will be delivered to you in private once you have returned to camp. I’ll see you all except Jessica at tribal.

Damn! YOU'RE TELLING ME THE AVERAGE AMOUNT SPENT PER PERSON ON THIS CHALLENGE WAS $6k? I just cannot believe that people balled out that much here, like, I get it, safety is nice, tokens are cool, but spending on average 6k and on average winning like one item? That's wild.

The auction was lovely, people spent a ton of money. I’m still poor but I got everything I bid for! I got an idol token valid till Final 5 which is awesome and also got another token extortion but it has to be used by this tribal and I don’t know who I’m using it on, probably Nerf or Vikram. I also got the info that Simon got the last covered item which turns out to be a token that is valid only for this tribal, so if things turn rough soon we have an idol prepared.

I had a lot of fun at the auction. I literally spent over $6500 to get an idol token valid for one round. Can I give you guys that token and get my money back? But at least Borges and I can combine our tokens and we can have a normal idol by using our 3 tokens. If we can blindside someone, that's time to do that! With Jonas winning immunity and Jess going to the Edge, we have two less potential targets going into tribal and that's never a good sign for someone who is as paranoid as me. But Jonas is literally left with 15k so he isn't a huge money threat for my game.

I hated the auction, I won immunity that I didn't want and lost the 2 items I did want. I lost the chance to win both tokens on a 50/50 draw. I'm really salty about that.

Nerf and I teamed up and tried to get extortion advantages while Jonas and I tried to get idol tokens. I ended up winning an idol token and an extortion advantage. I now have TWO idol tokens!

Jonas is POOR, he did the same thing I did on the $afety Pass. I bid a little bit higher so the player that had bid went way higher and wasted more money. Sorry Jess! But Goose, who originally wanted immunity, was more afraid of wasting almost 8k on nothing than getting that necklace. So Jonas lost 7.6k and apparently he is only left with 15k for his end game.

My aim was to either win immunity or make someone else bid a ton of money. So even though I didn’t win, I’ve accomplished my goal. I didn’t get anything from the auction, but that’s ok because I drained Jonas’ bank account! Jessica sending herself to the Edge doesn’t surprise me, but it does make things a little trickier because we lose a number for a Sophie vote.
Jessica | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I really did enjoy the auction! It was a lot of fun. I was able to get what I wanted as well. I went for the pass because honestly after being lied to once again and having my name being thrown out last tribal I just didn’t feel that safe. And I felt like I needed more time in order to get close to the Borges/Bloody/Goose trio. I was going to go for immunity at first but then saw the price was at 7.6k and I’m not going to pay over 16k just to be safe. So EoE was the next best thing. I think it’s interesting that Jonas thinks he needed immunity that badly as honestly he should save it for later. I don’t think he needs it right now.

I liked the method of this auction that let us set the base price but not the results. I didn't win anything and lost my money. Someone else got the hidden items. I wonder what they are. Jonas spent so freaking much. At first when someone bid 7.6k, I was super in shock and I was just telling some people that "well someone feels that vulnerable, who is it'' to find some clue who it would be. Then someone outbid that amount last minute and Jonas told me it was him and he wanted that initial person to bid 10k blindly for immunity.
Nerf | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
Jonas is insane for bidding that much for immunity. I was hoping Clink and Vik won the idol tokens. It sucks that neither of them got it.
Clink | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I loved the auction but I wished I got more prizes! I wanted to be so greedy and just steal everything for myself. I’m so GLAD I didn’t go for some items in the end though since everyone and their mama went for them too. I got one of the three items I bidded for, it’s a good advantage but I kinda doubt it’ll be in use for me since I don’t think I’ll make it to Final 5 to block someone from taking part in the Final 5 Immunity Challenge in the future. Jonas spending that much money for immunity is kinda funny, less money for you sir! As for Jessica, I’m not really sure if she needed that but hey it’s her business and she went for it so go ahead girl. I don’t think she was in danger but the girl is also getting exposed for wanting Moss and now Sophie out so…

The auction was fun! I got a vote extortion advantage that’s valid to Final 6! Jonas winning immunity is good because I think if a flip was tried he would be the target, but I also think it's not good because it puts a target on him going forward. Hopefully we can take out a number of who would go for him. Jess going to the Edge is actually good because she's a wildcard for where she would vote, we eliminate that wildcard and have potentially more known numbers for the next vote.
Bloody | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
The auction SUCKED and I DIDN’T GET ANYTHING. But on the bright side, some grade A bozos on our tribe paid a shit ton of money for nothing too, so I’m glad I just wasted away 1.1k vs the alternative. My guess is Jonas got his crew to spread and spend on a bunch of items. I think Jessica and Jonas both drastically overplayed at the auction. I would say, Jessica might have gone if the two sides of the tribe stayed united and voted in common interest, but leave it to Jonas to pay the most and do the absolute most in a round he has no need to. Mark my words, this meathead is not making it to the end. Hell, let’s see if he makes it out of next week alive.

Jessica arrives at the Edge on her own and reads the note placed at the edge of her temporary $helter.
Jessica: “There is an extortion advantage that’s valid until Final 6 here that could potentially be yours. To get it, you will need to correctly predict who will be voted off at the Final 11 Tribal Council. If you're wrong, you would be fined $900. If you do not want to face any risk of losing your money, you may choose not to predict at all.”

It’s nice that I don’t have to stress over being at tribal. I figured that something would be here and I ended up being right! I’m gonna predict Vikram going home but honestly I have no idea who might go. I wanted to give it at least a guess. Vikram’s name was thrown out a lot last tribal. I’m guessing Sophie will be going for Nerf or him and things seem to be going her way. I kinda doubt I’ll end up getting this extortion advantage but I will pray. If my prediction was wrong and Sophie or someone that’s working with her goes home, that would be a dream come true!

As I’m not attending the current tribal, I’ll discuss my plan for the next round. So if Sophie survives this, I’m going to try my best to get into the good graces of the trio of Bloody, Goose and Borges and then use those three plus whoever stays between Vik, Nerf and Simon to be able to help me take Sophie out as many of us have been betrayed by her and I’m also debating on calling her out in public when I get back to camp.

I really wanna pull in Nerf even though I know he’s talking with everyone. I think he’ll be used by all sides as things start to break down. If I play the "I'm all alone card" he’ll feel like he can help me cuz I denied I was part of a majority alliance and he seemed like he wanted to work with me.

Moss is very dry. She's a gamebot as she doesn't talk to me about anything else besides game, and when she does she utterly fails too every single time. I don't think she's doing insanely good for her game besides being covered by everyone because, why would anyone go for Moss? I don't think she'll do anything good for her game because she's dry and.. well, for me personally, I'll act like it means something, but it doesn't.

I think Nerf going would be beneficial for me but actually anyone of Sophie, Nerf or Vikram going, as long as I don’t take any heat, would be beneficial for me. I might let Goose finally have his revenge and get Sophie out. He is being more open to me, got me some info on Clink and told me that apparently Jonas wanted to throw votes at him last tribal.
Goose | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I really want to vote Sophie out. I think now is the time to make that move because Sophie is a huge threat going forward, and she’s probably going to target my trio of me, Borges and Bloody, even though none of them are my closest ally right now. Of course they are still my two and three but right now Clink is my number one just because of the information that he's been giving me. There is the question of idol shenanigans. I don't know who's gonna be pulling out idols and shit which is kind of terrifying. We could try to approach this as it being like a 6-2-2 split onto Nerf and Vik or like a 5-3-2 and then just flip the numbers around but it's still gonna be pretty tricky.

Goose is with Bloody and Borges, and he wants Sophie out next. Too bad, I’m flipping and working with Sophie now, biatch! It isn’t gonna happen, like even if I vote with Goose I doubt Sophie will leave. I do want both Sophie and Jonas here to take a shot at someone in Goose’s trio, preferably Borges or Bloody. At the same time, me and Goose bounced off each other and realized that Moss is actually a giant social threat. Hopefully we can both target her soon.
Bloody | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
When it comes to Jonas, I love our weird cat and mouse relationship. The more that he gets to talk to me about his game and his life, the less threatening I seem. I can make him think that he's got the upper hand on me. This round, I wanted to stay low, stay nice with Jonas’ crew, and build loyalty, but then Jonas had to go and mess up my plans… It's like, dude, why the [bleep] is Jonas pushing names right now? Why the [bleep] is Jonas stirring shit? The audacity of these men with immunity in this game, it's like, literally take a break. I don't know why he's doing so much, but now, you know, the powers are turning. His girlfriend’s gotta go. Sorry Sophie, you seem nice but you have terrible taste in allies.

Jonas wants to push for Bloody, Borges or Goose. I’m fine with any of those three because they are just kind of pushing my name now. Goose pushed it the hardest. They wanted Jonas but Jonas won the individual immunity. People keep making Jonas and me out to be a power duo but them doing that perpetuates that circumstance. I want to reach out but no, they're perpetuating their own fears.
Simon | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I'm worried about someone, and I think that this might be the best time to get that person out. That person is Goose. Like what is he trying to do by pretending he didn’t bid for immunity? I know that he is the person who bid $7600 for it, and I also know that Jonas overbid him by $19. With that type of stuff he will go lower and lower on my trust ranking and I can get his ass out of the game with a quick shot. Jonas and I talked about Goose being the glue in the Borges/Goose/Bloody trio. Vik literally hates Goose and Nerf is a duo with Vik. So that's already 4 out of 10 votes at tribal, then we have Moss and Sophie who will vote the same as Jonas and we have 6 votes to send Goose’s ass out. We can do an even better trick if people try to split votes on Vik and Nerf.

The straight forward vote here is Vikram who has sorta been on the outs. But then, Jonas told me Simon approached him about voting out Goose to weaken Borges since Borges has a trio with Goose and Bloody. Jonas wants to make that move which is perfect because Goose is one of my next targets based on what I'm hearing and how well connected he is. I think it'll be hard to get votes for Goose. I may need to think of a creative way to make it happen, especially since Goose and Clink are super close and he may leak it. I’d prefer to go after Bloody, which removes a number for them and she's someone who would slide under the radar. Also, I'm pretty good with Goose, so that doesn't help me.
Jonas | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I want to vote out Goose or Bloody. The plan to vote out one of the two is for me, Sophie, Clink, Moss and Simon to team up with Vikram and Nerf since they're on the bottom. I got Borges to throw out Vik and Nerf’s name and then told the two of them Borges did so.
Bloody | @Alqamar

I told Vikram straight up in full honesty: “I have not heard your name or Nerf’s name come out of Borges’ mouth in this round at all.” And Vikram was like, “okay, good to know. Thank you. I thought that Borges and I mended our relationship.” I felt good about that conversation, but then I talked to Borges and I was like, “Heads up, Jonas is spreading this rumor that you're putting Vikram and Nerf’s name out for this vote.” and Borges went, “oh shit, I am doing that.” He started telling me that him and Jonas were talking about who to do for the vote. And that he had mentioned Nerf and Vikram’s name. And then I guess Jonas just turned around and told at least Vikram about it. So now Borges is pissed at Jonas, I get an interesting look at Borges and Jonas’ dynamic. They’re working on a deeper game level than I had thought.
Borges | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
Jonas is a sneaky bastard. I was talking to him and I told him that I WON'T gun for Vikram because we have a peace agreement since last tribal and I really want to respect it so I won't say his name at all for at least this round. I also told him that Vikram and Nerf would be the easy votes, but I was just fishing to see where he went since I already knew from Goose that Jonas was gunning for him. Jonas didn't tell me a name, but not so long after that, Bloody said that Vikram is mad at me because Jonas is saying I want to gun for him or Nerf. I went to Vikram and mentioned to him that "I just told Jonas we have made up" and Vik got mad at Jonas now. Unfortunately, we can't take Jonas out but we can take Sophie out to weaken him and I'll always be able to say he screwed me over first and it's hard to trust someone when they throw you under the bus right after you say anything.

So Jonas threw Goose's name to me, but Borges told Jonas that he and I had mended. That’s not good as Jonas is now afraid we will unite back and he can’t utilize our rivalry. I think It’s the right time to attack Jonas’ side and like what Nerf said to me, Sophie is the better vote as she has connections with Jonas, Clink and Jessica. She is my secret duo but honestly, for me duos are only needed to keep me safe, I may not watch out heartfully, oops. If she feels betrayed, I'm really sorry as I love her as a person but for my game, it’s good because she’s the bridge in Jonas’ army and I can weaken villain Jonas. Plus I can build trust with Qummah 3 once again. Bloody and I are working together and I told her, "if we make the end, we can use the fact that you and I are the bridge between Qummah 3 and Nerf and Simon". That's great for us and I hope she keeps me that way and is an ally for me.
Nerf | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I got into Goose’s head a little bit that NOW is the time for him to go for Sophie because he's not going to get an opportunity to do that anytime soon. Truthfully, I'd side with him. I don't trust Sophie as much as I trust Goose. I feel like Goose is WAY better for my game than Sophie by a LONGSHOT. It's about convincing Clink and Vikram to side with me on it. Jonas wants to go for Goose... Goose will be going for Sophie… Oh my God it's like my dream scenario is coming to life. I get all the attention off of me. This manipulation can make sure people GO AGAINST each other and make sure I'm not the one people focus on. I need to start getting into people’s heads about making moves. Making sure people believe that they NEED to start going for people or they will be targeted. I know I'll be targeted if I don't do this.
Vikram | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I think I'm in a cautiously decent spot. It's now Goose vs Sophie and I hope it remains that way so that I can stay alive with my name out of the equation. Nerf told me our plan wasn't told to Simon, which is good because I still don't trust Simon 100% after the Zach vote. Goose appreciated what I'm doing with this vote and said this will help moving forward.

We just need one more for the Royal Idol. Actually I kinda can have 5 tokens if I ask Clink but I don't see a royal idol helping me here, I’d still take Sophie out.

My idol searching has finally paid off! After winning an idol token from the auction yesterday, I found an idol token that’s valid until the Final 5! When I returned to camp, Borges told me literally everything that happened while I was away. He told me that Nerf and Goose are blocking other people from telling me the "real" plan - getting Sophie out. I was talking with people and acted like I don't really know what is going on. Later when I started talking with Clink, since we both trust each other, he told me that he heard Sophie's name, but he still isn’t sure what he will do at tribal tonight. He also revealed that he got an extortion advantage from the auction which can block someone from playing in an immunity challenge, so I told him that I got a token valid until Final 11 while keeping my second one a secret. Then out of nowhere, he told me that he also got a token valid until Final 11. We were joking about how funny that would be if we would combine our two tokens and play it to negate ONE vote during tribal but we never decided whom we would use them on.

So much has happened. This is why I love this game, the most unacceptable things happen that you would never think. The unthinkable has happened - I JUST GAVE SOPHIE MY IDOL TOKEN, despite how I've been saying how sus she makes me and how I want her out. Our 7 person alliance, pulled together by Jonas to go against Borges/Bloody/Goose, got leaked by Nerf, Vik and Simon. I found out from Borges that they’re all voting Sophie now, so I leaked it to Jonas and Sophie and gave Sophie my idol token so that she can play an idol to cancel out those votes. The tricky part is, Jonas and Sophie really want to vote Borges because he's a big threat, but that doesn't work for me because I’m close to Borges and keeping him in the game over Goose and Bloody is better for my game. I want these silent threats out and leave more visible threats in the game. So I had to put a stop to it. I hope Sophie doesn't go around talking to people because I’m worried I might go if stuff gets leaked.
Sophie | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
Moss is close with Jonas. When I asked her about why my name was out there after Jonas told me that he had heard it from her, she was like “oh I didn't know your name was out there. Oh golly, what are we gonna do?” and I was just kind of done and I just played along. Because of that, I had my doubts on her but she pulled through I guess as she gave me her token that’s expiring this round. (shows her tokens to the camera) I’m gonna use these 3 tokens to play a normal idol on myself tonight. These people REALLY need to get better at hiding they are voting me because I’ve been ignored all damn day. We hate to see it.
Goose | @Alqamar
![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
So there is a very good chance I could end up going home here. We have the numbers on Sophie, but they could very easily have enough idol tokens to idol me out. I’m just hoping they feel confident enough in their “majority” that they don’t play any tokens they have or they play the idol wrong. These confessionals right now could very well be my last ones in this game, and I don’t want my game to end this soon.
Moss | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I have to be watching people closely before the vote to make sure this plan to save Sophie doesn't get leaked. But if this goes through as planned, I'm gonna have to think about damage control and how to spin it. If I lose Borges' trust I won’t be in a good spot! I’m gonna tell Jonas and Sophie not to tell people I gave her a token, and say that either Jonas gave it to her or she had it, I don’t want people to know about my role in this.
Bloody | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
So Jonas just got done telling everyone the game plan is to tell Borges the vote is going to land on me but that it's actually going to land on Goose. Meanwhile, Goose feels confident in Clink, Borges feels confident pulling Simon, and Nerf and Vik seem pretty rock solid on Sophie. Let's see if it holds. In these next few hours before tribal, I need to make sure it looks like I have no clue that Goose is the target because the second plans change is the second pawns become primary targets. And I am not going at Final 10, I refuse.

I need to convince Clink to side with Goose. That is the main goal. I need to make sure Clink BETRAYS Jonas. I can use that as a way to throw Clink under the bus, I can make sure I'm the one who looks better. Get rid of the people IN THE MIDDLE and make them defined on a side. I will be defined, too. But of course, I'm keeping my options VERY open for all of this. Sophie going home highly benefits me as I feel like I can get IN with Bloody, Borges and Goose even more, which are 3 big shields for my game. Simon also needs to get out of the middle. I want to make sure everyone feels betrayed by someone in a way, which could 1000% help my game and create EVEN MORE CONFLICTS. I know the risk of this. I know it can blow up in my face… but with Clink giving me his idol tokens, I have an idol NOW to make sure I'm safe here.
Clink | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
We don’t have much time left before tribal. I don’t know who I’m voting! We have Goose, Borges and Bloody on one side, Sophie and Jonas on the other. Yes Sophie has 2 advantages, but I like Goose a lot...I don’t know! Sophie is a better shield. [BLEEP] IT, LET’S CAUSE A TIE. Both sides think I’m voting with them. Nerf, Vik, Borges, Goose and Bloody vs Sophie, Jonas, Simon and Moss? I don’t know where Moss stands with this. I think it’s better if I vote for Goose here, because if Moss flips and votes for Sophie then it’ll be 6-4 regardless, but if Moss doesn’t and it ties I might get exposed since Borges is telling Nerf to “convince” me to vote for Sophie. Time is running out and I don’t even know what my gut is telling me to do!

I got a new plan now and I don't see how using my idol block extortion advantage from the auction would ever help me here, so I decided not to use it and say I was extorted instead. I will say someone played a vote extortion on me and I gotta pay up $3900 to vote this tribal, which makes sense since they're targeting Goose and probably wouldn't play extortion on him but one of his allies. But we have a huge problem now! Goose wants to target Moss right now to avoid an idol play. I’m indeed afraid of some tokens because if they play tokens, they probably will target someone they weren't targeting before. And Bloody is too UTR, no one talks about targeting her or anything. So they may gun for me in that case.
Nerf | @Alqamar ![MergeIcon MergeIcon](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869095314974470184.png)
I think a big part of this upcoming tribal is that the quiet kills the loud. The quietness is highly unnerving. It's scary. You don't know what the hell is going to happen and where people are voting because it's quiet. But when people know WHY it's quiet, that's where the power is. The people being targeted are more solid, and KNOW why it's quiet because they are aware. But the loud are indifferent and don't seem to care. It's a huge contrast to the sun and the moon. The moon stays out longer than the sun, but people still go insane over the sun... that sun represents bold and brash, whilst the moon represents calm and collected. The calm and collected will take down the bold and brash, as people in the game of $urvivor NEED the moon more than the sun at times... and the moon will triumph over the sun.

$pecies ⚖
20-Aug-21 12:22 AM
All members of Alqamar, except Jessica, enter tribal council.
$pecies: Welcome back to tribal council! We will now bring in the members of our jury - Zach and Deaze voted out back-to-back at the last tribal council.
Zach and Deaze walk in and sit at the jury bench.
$pecies: So time for questions! Bloody and Moss, more than $66k was spent at the auction on various items. Is it common knowledge who spent on which item, and how much? Are you concerned about your balance, compared to the perceived balances of the rest of the players left? How does this affect the vote?
↳ Bloody: I don't think anything in this game is "common knowledge," particularly where those auction items went last round and who spent what. All I can do is mind my own business, balance my own checkbook, and hope for the best. but some of y'all wildin' for spending over $6k at auction!
↳ Moss: People have said what they bid on and how much but you never really know what they've bid on because it's all done in private. I think your balance is always a concern especially in merge since you don't know how much challenges will cost or how much people have and with yesterday having a total cost of 66K, it shows people will spend.
$pecies: Borges and Nerf, Jessica left for the Edge of Extortion and is not present at this tribal. Was this expected? How does Jessica's absence affect the vote, if at all?
↳ Borges: I really didn't know who would really want the $afety Pass but as soon as I know it was Jess, it made sense. I mean, she is the only OG Zufaf left in game, so she can feel like she is on the outs and needs to be immune. I think the only thing that Jess going affects is that we can have a tie now and couldn't before, but I don't think that's happening anyways.
↳ Nerf: I didn't really expect Jessica to take it, and to be blunt I didn't know WHO was going to go for it in the first place. It was a mystery in my eyes, but I feel like it doesn't effect the outcome of this vote ALL too much. I think the only thing that matters is she is the last OG Zufaf and that is the only thing that stands out about her, which everyone knows.
Nerf passes an idol token to Clink stealthily.
$pecies: Clink and Simon, nine castaways have given out Legacies of Love after their eliminations. Is it common knowledge who has received Legacies of Love, and how much? Does this affect your perception of the other players? How will it affect the vote tonight?
↳ Clink: I can admit I received two legacies from both Lars and Greg respectively, but that 2k I gained went straight into immunities. I don’t know how people might get targeted for the legacies of love, but I know 2k won’t make much of a difference in my eyes since that’s the average for like every immunity here. But send me your legacy of love tho baby, show me da love.
Clink passes that idol token to Simon without being noticed.
↳ Simon: Yeah 9 people were given Legacy of Love so far but did we really know who that was? I don't think so. Now that we have merged, people's perception of this topic changed a lot. From this point, the person who will got something from the jury members might be seen as potential jury threat later in a game. But from what I know, that won't affect the vote here at all because I have not heard once that people wanted to vote for someone because of this reason.
$pecies: Goose and Sophie, at the auction, idol tokens and extortion advantages were offered. Some of them are valid up to this tribal only. How does the knowledge of these advantages affect the way you approach the vote?
↳ Goose: I think advantages and idol tokens could absolutely come into effect, but that all entirely depends on how people play them and who they play them on. Now that a bunch of us have our little bags of tricks, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone pulled out something here.
↳ Sophie: Honestly, they don’t worry me too much more than I already am always worried mainly because I know that the majority of the lot can only be played at this tribal, making less of a risk for after this round.
$pecies: Jonas and Vikram, we saw everyone voted against Deaze after all those whispers at the last tribal. Do you think it will be another unanimous vote tonight? How do you ensure your tribemates won't jump on the bandwagon against you next?
↳ Jonas: It might be a unanimous vote. Who knows?
↳ Vikram: Honestly, I don't think it will be a unanimous vote this time. Deaze was unanimous only because we knew he didn't have an idol and then it was whisper everywhere, so everyone went for quite a simple vote. This time, we don't know who was having convo with whom at camp. I sure hope they don't bandwagon against me. I made some convos with people to make sure it isn't me.
$pecies: Well, there is only one way to find out. It is time to vote. Nerf, you're up first.
One by one, the players make their way to the voting booth to vote.
Nerf (votes against ?)
People say when the game becomes loud, it's becoming chaotic and destructive. But when the game becomes silent... it becomes deadly. I really respect you as a person, and I'm sorry you have to go home here, it's now or never. Peace out.
Moss (votes against ?)
I'm voting you because I found out that Vik and Nerf leaked the vote...
Clink (votes against ?)
I'm sorry for this. If I had more time, I would have given you a heads up that I was voting you. I think this was my best bet moving forward.
Simon (votes against ?)
Let's pretend I don't know what is going on here.
$pecies returns to the voting podium with the urn.
$pecies: If anyone has idol tokens and would like to play them, now would be the time to do so.
Simon: Hey $pecies...
I think that most people make decision in this tribal but I'm not going to let that happen. I want to combine my 3 tokens please.
And with my normal idol, I play that on Sophie!
Sophie: That’s awkward... but thanks boo!
I’m not voting you, it’s just awkward for me right now.
$pecies: Simon has exchanged 3 idol tokens for a complete idol to play on Sophie. Any votes cast against Sophie will not count.
Anyone else?
Sophie: ME!
Scratch my back, I scratch yours!
Two of these expire here, so... May I combine my 3 and play an idol on Simon?
$pecies: With that, any votes cast against Simon will not count either.
Any more?

Borges: OMG! How many tokens are there?
Nerf: Question, $pecies!
Can someone pass idol tokens live? Like right here right now?
$pecies: Yes.
Jonas: Don’t do it, Nerf. I promise you don’t want but...
Nerf: Clink, can I have my idol token back?
Jonas: Hahahahhahaha!
Clink: I sadly cannot cuz I gave it to Simon.
Nerf: Ohhh, gotcha!
Clink: Yea I didn’t expect this either.

Jonas: Goose, you’re worse at jokes than $urvivor. Oops. Bye!
Goose: A+ jury management there, fam.
Jonas: I really don’t care about your bitter ass. I did nothing to you. Get to stepping.
Goose walks away. Once out of view, $pecies speaks again.
$pecies: Six idol tokens were played tonight. Will we be seeing more in the near future? Who knows but one thing for sure, there will be more tough votes ahead.... Grab your torches and head back to camp. Good night.
FINAL WORDS
Goose | 11th Place
I knew there were gonna be some idol shenanigans at this tribal, but nobody wanted to change the vote! I felt like I had so much more game to play, but they finally got me for good this time. Regardless of how I went out though, I feel tremendously proud of the game that I was able to play. The fact that I was able to go from being the first person voted off of my tribe to establishing a strong majority alliance rolling into the merge and social connections with most of the players in the game is remarkably impressive. And the one way I would have wanted to be taken out before Sophie is if she was the one to take me out again, and that's exactly what happened.
>
I seriously want to thank all of you guys for putting together such a complex, intense, fun game together. It has been an honor to have been a part of it. https://youtu.be/XhqVapKCNQA
Goose bequeaths Bloody and Borges $1000 each.
